About me
After studying Pop at the Conservatory of Amsterdam Timon Persoon received his MA in Composition at the Conservatory of Utrecht. Live sound in relation to the performative space and the moving body is central to his work, in which he explores how sound can be the carrier of fiction. His particular interest lies in the movement of sound through space as well as sound itself creating an imaginative space. These fascinations have grown within various collaborations in the interdisciplinary field over the past years.

Timon Persoon profiles himself as a sound poet and concept artist, creating sound and music for contexts like live performances, theater, dance and film. He shapes sound like a poet would shape words. With the use of field recordings, analogue synths and acoustic instruments he creates atmospheric music that appeals to the imagination.
Besides melancholic dark layers, contrast and imperfection elicit the unexpected in his work. It is the unexpected that awakens the listener’s attention, making it both flow and focus. Stimulated to listen actively, a communion arises between music maker and listener. Together they meander through a wakeful dream of wonder and exploration.
As a songwriter and keyboard player Persoon played in several projects. Together with Amor Van Rij they embodyed the Visual from 2016 to 2022.
